After you paste the entire line of coding (remember it is the line with "Hotlink for forums (1)" after it)
It will look like this
after you click the "post" button it will magically transform that code to look like this

You are most welcome!

I'll add a couple of snail mail hints
Size Does Matter.
When a Sweep asks you to send a 3.5 X 5 paper, you must do just that. Any old size is not acceptable. This is, in part, to keep a level playing field. So don't take the chance on wasting your stamp...send the right size.
Card vs. Postcard.
If I sweep asks for a card, you send cardstock weighted paper in an envelope. If a sweep asks for a postcard, send a postcard (ie: like the kind you send on vacation or buy at the post office). Postcards do not go in envelopes.
Handwriting is key.
Write your entries so that someone who doesn't know anything about you can read your entry without straining or guesswork. This is a huge factor is being disqualified.
postcards from the post office I fill out like this;
how to post a screenshot [screencapture of a winning screen]
Amy..I think you are looking for screencapture of a winning screen after winning an instant?
1. have the screen up and showing on the computer.
2. click your "PrtScrn" button (on a desktop it will be above the number pad, on a lap top near the end of the F keys)
3. open a paint program (windows paint comes with every windows program and can be found by clicking the start button, then click on "all programs", scroll to "accessories", and then scroll down to "Paint and click)
4. once your paint program is open, right click on the blank screen and scroll down to "Paste", click
5. then click on "file" and "save as" and save your captured picture what ever name you want to name it (I usually name mine the name of the win...example if I won a Nestles crunch bar and screencaptured the win, I would name it "Nestleswin.jpg) MAKE sure you have saved it someplace you can find it again such as in the My Pictures folder!!! or email it to yourself by using the instructions given by Penny in the above post!
6. go to ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs
7. click on the "browse" button and go to where you saved your screenshot, once you have found your picture, click on it and then click the OK button.
now click the "Host it!" button and wait
8. once the picture has uploaded at imageshack, it will open a new page, and look for the line of HTML coding that at the end of the line says [Forums (1)] behind the coding. Now copy the entire line of coding
9. come here to the forums, go to the winners circle, start a thread talking about your win, and paste that entire line of HTML coding into your message box..and suddenly that [http://www.imageshack.com]coding will look like this (this is an old win btw);
P.s. I used the line that says "Thumbnail for forums (1)" behind it, so it will be a small picture, but if you click on the small picture, it will open up to fullsize in a new window!
